Iā€™ll lose my mind if the Twins get Lynn or someone like him and the Sox do nothing and then I see some moron saying ā€œthank God we didnā€™t mortgage the futureā€

Oh me and you both.Ā

We get it, dude. You want to win the World Series and donā€™t really care what it takes to make that happen. Youā€™ve made it clear.Ā

I'd be upset in a regular year, but this year is just so bizarre and with the 3 game first round series, it's an even bigger crap shoot;Ā I wouldn't value WAR acquired this year for anything really.Ā

I'm not sold on having to blow the farm up on a top starter in 2020.

Cease and Dunning look like they could hold down the #3 and #4 withoutĀ much difficulty - if they had to,

Cease as a #3 in the playoffs? Dunning pitched what? 5 innings yesterday with a limit and was topping out at 91. He's not all the way back yet.Ā

I wouldn't be looking forward to facing him. Twins getting a better pitcher for this year and next year is not a good thing.Ā 

I know LL has been really good in Texas, and yes he would improve the Twins. But he doesnā€™t exactly strike fear in me, and the Twins are going to be our closest competition in this 5-7 season window. If they hurt their future by giving up Lewis or Kiriloff for 35 Lance Lynn starts, I think the Sox are better off long term.

Both of these teams are making the playoffs this season and frankly there is really no difference in what seed you have other than bragging rights.Ā

Them getting him should worry you. He's one of the better pitchers in baseball.Ā  Their OF is already in place. It doesn't really hurt them.Ā

Cease has been pretty terrible so far. I wouldnā€™t trust him in the postseason. And Iā€˜d be more than willing to send him packing for Woodruff or Clevinger, since I donā€™t think he will ever have acceptable fastball command.

Can we PLEASE get all the trade rumor threads merged? Once a rumor has actually got some legs it can be broken off into its own thread but right now we have 3 different threads dedicated to general trade speculation.Ā 

No sir.Ā

He has been for the last 40 starts. I donā€™t think he will be for his next 35. LL is a rock solid #3 type. Heā€™s good. Heā€™s not a TOR pitcher.Ā We can agree to disagree if youā€™d like.Ā

I mean the stats just say your wrong. But that's fine.Ā

What was he right on? Honest question. The only thing IĀ remember was the Robert extension, but that was after Jimmy posted that they were talking.Ā 

He said Hahn was going to spend this offseason

He had the Robert extension

He reported the Sox serious interest in Cishek before anyone

He reported the Sox were not in on Castellanos

He said the Sox and Moncada were discussing an extensionĀ before anyone

He said the Sox loved Kelley a month before the draft

He said Kopech was opting out for reasons not related to mental health

You are saying a lot of things that simply aren't true to support your claim.

1. Everyone did
2. I'll argue this until I'm blue in the face, but he read the tea leaves here... but if I will give him "one move" for the year, this is it
3. No
4. So? Plenty of people said this.
5. Wrong
6. The Sox scouted him multiple times; I knew that and I'm not an insider
7. Piggybacked this as well; this was said by multiple people.

I follow about 500 Sox twitter accounts, and what Cishek does is play off the story or the speculation/thought/feed. That doesn't mean he doesn't have a buddy that works in the front office who blurted out one thing to him once.Ā

My goodness. Teams don't keep trades under wraps for nearly 24 hours in 2020.

Soxtalk people speculated heuer. Its all it is. SpeculationĀ 

It probably is. That said you don't know everything.Ā  The smartest guy in the room act is comical.Ā
